Our Little Christmas

We had a fabulous Christmas! Lily is at such a fun age and I think she really had fun helping in the kitchen, listening to Christmas stories (after Cat in the Hat, of course), and even watching Christmas movies! I can't even begin to imagine how much fun next year will be with two little ones! Here are a few photos we snapped over the past two days...enjoy!

Christmas Eve

Lily insisted that we started the evening with a little dress up! Ta da!



Her first kitchen project was making Santa's cookies. She was such a big help!




For our super special Christmas Eve dinner, we decided the theme to be "A Few of Our Favorite Things". This will definitely be a Henry family tradition! Each of us picked an item that we love then made in "mini" version and enjoyed together! Lily, of course, chose cheese pizza!




I chose sushi. No, we didn't get crazy and actually make sushi. I broke the rules a bit...but I'm pregnant and I do what I want! :) Chris made delicious zucchini fries with marinara sauce. We will absolutely share the recipe soon!


After dinner, we put on our Christmas jammies. Our theme for this year...The Henry Justice League! Our Green Lantern (Oliver), Aqua Man (Mr. Kitty), and Flash (Lola) were too cool for Christmas jammies and photos!


Super girl!


Batman!


Wonder Woman!


We then piled on the couch with hot chocolate/chocolate milk and cookies to watch a Christmas movie before bed. Lily's choice...Mickey's Christmas Special....and it was enjoyed by all!


Right before little Miss passed out, we placed a few treats out for Santa...including a picture that Lily drew earlier! She said it was a bicycle!




Christmas Day



Tearing into her stocking with a little help from the Boi! 



She LOVED that her and Daddy now have matching shirts! 
Super Daddy with his Super Girl!


I'm really glad Santa brought Lily several sticker books. 

And then....we forgot to take any more pictures. :( 
But we did get a pic of our delicious Christmas lunch...Spinach lasagna! 
(Because it's red, white, and green...get it!)


Although these pics are just a snapshot into our little holiday, we had so much more fun! We head to Leesville tomorrow to continue the celebration! I'm sure we'll have a lot more to share on Monday!

We hope that you and your families had a spectacular Christmas celebration!
